ENROLLING; and classifying
women for national service, the
work begun Monday morning in
Omaha by the National League
' for Woman Service, ia one of the three
important steps advocated in the
mobilization of the woman power of
the country by the Council for Na
tional Defense and the National In
stitute of Accountants. A second is
co-operation of the War and Navy de
partments with tome civic organiza
tion to determine the needs of the
service and duties which can be per
formed by women. A third is to or
ganize an educational bureau, repre
senting both military authorities and
civilian workers, to classify the duties
in connection with various military
and naval departmental offices, and to
teach unqualified workers.
It has been suggested that every
woman enrolling be classified in two
ways, by the type of service aha can
render and by examination. Women
can be utilized in the army as stenog
raphers, typists, bookkeepers, clerks of
all kinds, filing assistants, keeper! of
stores and supplies, cooks, and numer
ous other duties. As purchasers of
varioua kinds of supplies, inspectors
of supplies, and in many professional
lines as in the legal departments, as
auditors, as accountants and as trans
lators of languages. Some- suggest
that various grades be created to cor
respond to the ordinary official
nomenclature via: Private, corporal,
sergeant, for the minor positions, and
second and first lieutenants, captain
and major for the higher ones.
The assumption is that in time of
war there art many things which tech
nically trained women can do aa well,
or better, than men, and that, aa a
matter of patriotic duty, women
should offer their services for the
work they are best fitted to do, thus
making available for the field a large
part of the male population.
Great Britain today has over two
million women employed in indus
tries which before the war were con
sidered exclusively men's occupations.
They are employed in glass works, in
packing houses, in blacksmithing,
street cleaning, flour milling, chimney
sweeping, farming and gardening.
They work as brakemeri and engine
cleaners on railroads, They atoke
coal, lay brick, work as braziers in
machine shops and run lathes. They
clean windows of office building and
turn and bore shells. They are em
ployed in boiler shops where they
rivet boiler shells and sokestacks. In
England and France together nearly
five million women are now not only
' doing the work of men, but are earn
ing men's wages. . . .. . . , .
In Fran e from the beginning of the
war women were emnloved hnth In
industries and, in the vanous war de
partments for all kinds of duties.
Women are now even performing gar.
rison duty in the French forts in the
rear. They are guarding plantsthe
same work that our National Guard
is doing now and are even guarding
prisoners, in order to relieve men for
nore urgent amies. -

American System for Lack

Some pertinent comments on Amer
ican school system were made by F.
W. Fitzpatrick in a talk given before
L'Alliance Francaise- Saturday after
noon at the public library. Mr. Fitz
patrick, who came here recently to be
associated with the Bankers Realty
company, has lived in France and has
contributed widely to French educa
tional reviews.
"Our children cannot spell correct
ly; they know little if anything of
fundamentals; they have been taught
to skim over the surface of things; a
smattering of a subject has been ac
cepted as a satisfactory attainment;
frivolity is encouraged frivolity that
sticks all through lite, in marriage,
character building, everywhere. Noth
ing is taken seriously, for no one is
taugnt seriously or seriousness. ,f,il
Froth of Fashion. '
"Ours is a race of embryo presi
dents, senators, captains of industry,
directors and managers. We make no
more workers with brawn and muscle,
craftsmen and mechanics! Headwork
only is fashionable, and the least of
that possible. .
"Let there be less book education
and more instruction in' the primary
grades," Fitzpatrick advocated; "and
more character building. Let there
be less kindergarten and playful frills
and a more thorough grounding in
the rudiments, the three R's. Our
entire school system needs revamp
ing." Fitzpatrick favors building schools
well out of town in the country, big
one-story affairs. Rapid transit with
special school cars would take care
of the problem of getting the chil
dren to school. "Cut down on the
ornamentation of the buildings, cut
down on the high schools if neces
sary, and enlarge 'upon the grade
